Question 19 • FL-1001340-English 2 Sem 1 - Flex

Which statement best shows how evidence related to historical events can support a claim?

Answer

Secondary sources can include song lyrics written by people to communicate their experiences.

Artifacts can summarize a large amount of information about a past time period.

Primary sources can include the exact words that witnesses used to testify at a trial.

Statistics can allow readers to focus on emotions rather than details about a past occurrence.

Explanation

A primary source is direct evidence from the time or event being studied. A trial transcript that records witnesses’ exact words is a firsthand account, so it can provide evidence to support a historical claim. Song lyrics are not necessarily secondary sources, artifacts do not usually summarize broad information, and statistics focus on numerical details rather than emotions.
